Participants will learn how to create the gory looks they've seen on stage and screen. You'll be making your own stage blood, creating latex prosthetics, and learning how to apply cuts and bruises. We'll build the weirdest and most creative story we can think of and design the special effects to go along with it! We'll be exploring character development, coming up with the most creative, off the wall fantasy characters and designing their look. We'll use professional standard SFX makeup to recreate our designs, bringing our characters to life! Lorna-Jane Garside is an arts practitioner and actor based in Ipswich with a wealth of knowledge across both theatre and film. Lorna specialises in designing and delivering drama workshops with and for young people in and around Suffolk. Most recently Lorna has worked with The New Wolsey Theatre, Eastern Angels, SPILL, Suffolk New College, Latitude Festival 12 August- Ian Dance- ID Creative I deliver creative workshops using Virtual Reality headsets and software called ‘Kingspray.’ This virtual reality application allows participants to develop spray-can-based street art painting skills, as well as practice creating their own styles and images in a virtual space. These sessions allow participants to explore themes, creative markmaking, build confidence and self-esteem with the use of Virtual Reality as a creative medium. Each Participant will develop the skills to use state-of-the-art Virtual Reality technology to create digital artworks, both in their own virtual space and also within group sessions helping aid individual creativity and social inclusion skills. Ian Dance, A Virtual Reality Arts Facilitator Based in Suffolk My work includes delivering Virtual Reality based creative workshops that introduce communities to new creative technologies and possibilities. At the heart of my practice is a belief that creativity is a force for good, open to everyone, capable of building confidence, and providing platforms where individuals can thrive

Cancellation Policy
Free bookings do not require refunds but as places are limited, please cancel if you cannot attend so that your place can be offered to someone else.

My experience consists of a leisure activity, on a specific date(s), and therefore the 14-day ‘cooling off period’ under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 does not apply.
